  • Has anyone here used the velo orange steering stabiliser? (http://freshtripe.co.uk/velo-orange-wheel-stabilizer-large-downtube-31-8mm-diameter/)

    I want to put something on my Big Dummy to stop steering flop when the bike is parked up on the centre stand, the front wheel is in the air and flops around, it's very annoying. The VO stabiliser looks pretty good for this but I'm concerned it might limit steering travel. I do have to turn the bars quite a bit to get through a tight barrier near me and I don't want it to limit this, I also don't want to stretch the spring.

    I only need it when I park up and would prefer to avoid a bodge. Something like a steer stopper would be great but it's a lot of cash (https://steerstopper.com/)

    Any thoughts?

  • Can’t help currently, but have a ,Hebie Steerer Damper‘, never mounted, but will do in the next days on wife bike.

  • That's close enough to the VO version that any input you have would be really helpful

    The two things I need to know are
    1 - with the front wheel off the ground does it stop steering flop?
    2 - can you turn the bars full lock either side without causing problems to the spring/device?

    I don't need a steering stabiliser for riding, I need it for when I stop and unweight the front
